Land Development Philosophy of Katua Falls

Introduction, Deeds & Restrictions | Lot Prices | Site Plan | Photo Gallery

The Katua Falls community is a quaint well planned neighborhood located within the city limits of Maggie Valley, North Carolina, a small mountain town in a high mountain valley.

The 15 acre community of Katua Falls is designed as a small gated residential village. Every attempt has been made to maintain a feeling of mountain landscape while offering amenities such as city sewer, city water, paved streets, under ground utilities, gated entry - all within easy reach of the valley sidewalks, restaurants and activities.

All these amenities are so close at hand, but with an ambiance of a retreat from the hustle and bustle in a gated community of attractive well built homes. To maintain the feeling of retreat, each home must be properly placed on the home site, and should blend in and complement the natural setting. Exterior design and colors will be carefully reviewed and planned.

Our hope is to create a village of high quality homes with an extra degree of attention to exterior design detail. High pitched roofs, gables, bay windows, natural stone, wood tones, and other natural siding materials should be incorporated. There is no minimum square footage requirement but the standards will be high for quality of materials and design detail.

We are attracted to the natural beauty, the large mature trees, lush vegetation and natural spring waters. It is the intent of the Katua Falls to enhance the property while maintaining this natural environment. Each home should be just as carefully planned so it blends into the natural landscape.

From the onset Katua Falls was envisioned to have a “green space” as the heart of the neighborhood. The natural valley in the common area has two spring heads, towering trees and native under story. The protection of this area was foremost in the mind, as the planning moved forward.


Once upon completion of all the homes, we intend for the ambiance to remain natural and wooded. The community common area should remain the heart of Katua Falls with the homes sprinkled around this central area.
The process of laying out the land into lots surrounding the green common area focused on creation of stunning, unique home sites with accessible driveways. The surveyor then followed the outline around the designated home site, ensuring that the home site, driveway, and land plan followed the contours of the land, not some cookie cutter format. Each home site is unique and works with the natural setting.

To further insure the continued cohesiveness, the intent of the tree ordinance and the Buildings and Architectural Review process is to help protect this feeling of a natural mountain environment. Quality of construction will be the keyword, not minimum square footage, in the Architectural Review stages.

Katua Falls is one of the premier neighborhood communities for a person looking for these amenities and values.
